Here is a sweet song from the motion picture "Breaking Upwards" (2009).

Capo 2nd fret

Intro: Am  C  Em  D Am

G                         Em                           C
I picked a colour long ago to suit my tawdry tales of woe,
Am
and now it doesn't fit.
G                                Em                    C
My friend who's a fan of shades traveled to the ever glades,
Am
and asked if I'd come with.
G                                      Em                         C
There's no one that I would rather see, she's a special friend to me.
      Am
But I feel I'd be leaving you behind.
G                                 Em                              C
That's the game of love and war, choose the side you're fighting for.
Am
See if there's a white flag to be raised.
Am
I know it's not a fair assessment,
Am                                        Em         D              C
but I can't be asked to wrestle with the colours of who you've now become.
Am                                          C
'Cause you and I, we're not the same, and neither can be held to blame.
     Em                D           C
It's just the way the story has to end.
G
Being here and being there.
Em                          C   Am
There's no space for being where I feel I should be.
G
Loneliness is like a drink,
Em                            C    Am            
think you're on the verge of sinking when you tame the sea.
Am 
Interim's are good for suckers
Am
feeling like they're down on luck,
Em                  D               C
and I'm not gonna drown in my own tears.
Am                         C                        Em             D
I can't ask you anymore to be the one that I adore only when the time is 
          C
right for me.
              G
So let's just be


Outro:

Aaah (and whistle)
G  Em  C  Am  
G  Em  Am  
G  Em  C  Am
G  Em  C  Am
G  Em  C  Am
G

Enjoy!
